Sinn Féin - On Your Side

Campaign for Bewleys takes to the streets

Sinn Féin Representative for Dublin South East, Councillor Daithí Doolan
today called on the public to lend their support to Wednesdays public launch
of "Save Our Bewleys".

Speaking in Dublin this morning Councillor Doolan said:

"Following a successful meeting of the campaign group on Saturday it was
agreed to publicly launch the Campaign to Save Our Bewleys. It is imperative
that we keep Bewleys open to the public. It has become synonymous with the
Dublin we know, it has become a landmark for tourists and locals alike. This
launch on Wednesday will be colourful, imaginative and memorable. It will
include street theatre, music and poetry.

I will also be raising the issue of Bewleys with the Minister for
Environment, Heritage & Local Government Dick Roche in an attempt to to keep
the cafes open. It is clear that the minister has a responsibility to
protecting this important aspect of our heritage and the jobs that are
currently at stake."

In conclusion Cllr. Doolan called on, "people to rally to the call and
support this event on Wednesday. It is guaranteed to entertain and highlight
this issue."

The public launch of the Campaign to Save Our Bewleys Wednesday 11am-1pm
Bewleys Grafton Street. ENDS
